you are laminations
you are liminal
you are luminous
you are lamentations
you are libations
you are love
you are illustrated
you are elevated
you are limitless
you are

a discrete packet of experience
a briefly coherent cloud of perspectives
expressed within the roiling sea of causality
as a single mind a consciousness
a heart a soul within the same great mesh
as Kubla Khan your grandma and Gilgamesh
you are a series of connections back to
things you’ve been you’ve done
you’ve seen you’ve known
you are within the web of
horror grace and happenstance
you are within it all one
fleeting glowing knot of light
you are one point of view
briefly persisting in the
vast ocean of existence
at the centre of ten trillion things
that your life’s linked to
in the space where all the things
you experienced and done and seen
connect for a brilliant instant
in that eyeblink of that space
there you are
a node
being only in relation
to all the other beings
that you’ve touched
that you have linked to
real or unreal as they are
you are one page
of hyper text mark-up language code
within the infinitesal infinite
superhighway of all information
find yourself your place your name
your heart soul brain consciousness
in one uniform resource location
on the internet of being
in the miracle of seeing
for a little while

you are
a coagulation of connections
to other coagulations of connection
you are a beam
you are a stream
you are as real as every else you touch
you are unreal for a little while at least
you are allowed to know that much
you are light
you are living
you are living for a little while
you are lost
you are lingering
you are michael
you are daniel
you are nathaniel
you are kal-el and
you are emmanuel
you are links to other links to other links
laminate on top each other in more layers
than you could ever hope to think
you are limitless
you are el
